Weary Harvard students want a place to take naps right in Harvard Yard

By adamg - 2/20/13 - 9:39 am

The Crimson reports on some petitions for improving student life submitted to the university, including one for a "a designated nap room in the Yard."

Ads get flashier at Harvard Square T stop

By adamg - 1/31/13 - 11:30 am

The T today turned on new digital ad screens at Harvard, in a move that could mean "millions of dollars of new advertising revenue for the MBTA in the coming years," the state Department of Transportation says.

Park Street Station, North Station and South Station will also get some of the large-screen TVs to beam ads and service info at the faces of commuters.

Harvard Station is equipped with three 70" Tri-Faced screens in a kiosk in the main atrium and five 55" Landscape Screens; one double-sided on the inbound platform and three single-sided across the track on the inbound platform.

Brattle Theatre tries online fundraising for renovations

By adamg - 1/24/13 - 4:47 pm

The Harvard Square institution has turned to Kickstarter to try to raise the $140,000 it says it needs to install digital projectors and fix a creaky heating and air-conditioning system.

We will still show 35mm as much as possible, but as much as we like showing this format, many of the new films and restorations of classic films are only being provided in digital format now. So DCP is a necessary addition. But it'll cost us $90k to do it right.
